Profile:
Possibly the best keeper to ever play for India, "Kiri" was also
a very useful lower order bat. Quiet and efficient behind the
stumps, rather than flashy, he nevertheless executed some
brilliant stumpings, and took some memorable diving catches.
Having kept to the Indian spin quartet in the mid to late '70s,
he then saw the emergence of Kapil Dev and a transition to an
attack based more on medium-pace. Kiri was the keeper for most of
the most prolific part of Kapil's career. As a batsman, he was
unorthodox, but effective, playing several valuable innings in
the lower order. One of his two centuries came as a
night-watchman, against Australia in 1979-80.
Popular with Indian crowds, later in his career he invariably
raised a cheer when he took off his hat to reveal his shaved
head. He was recalled to play first class cricket for Karnataka
in 1992-93, several years beyond his last Test (Uday Rajan, 1998).
